IMO, the Chiefs needed the type of player at #3 overall that makes an impact on the game, not a guy who's primary job is to let other people make plays. Especially when the linebackers and safeties are not in place.
I've said this before and I'll say again: Tyson Jackson could turn out to be the greatest 5-tech player to ever play the game. But unless the Chiefs acquire outstanding linebackers and safeties, no one will even know or care.
And that for me makes it a wasted pick.

If he turns out to be the best 5-tech ever, the Chiefs won't need outstanding linebackers.
So long as he is productive, and a legit starter, it isn't a wasted pick.
